*Calculated combining the average incidence rate corresponding to consecutive sex and age groups. See details in Methods. Ratio, expected to observed ratio.
†Calculated using the Framingham risk factor means and 10 year underlying CHD event rate in the Framingham function.
‡Risk factor means and 10 year underlying CHD event rate of Gerona used in the Framingham function.
Risk factor means refers to mean age and the proportion of population in each level of the risk factors.
